This is a mid-size state park near Manchester, Vermont. It has a nice lake which you can walk around and some other trails as well. It can be scenic in the fall. It does have a beach and swimming and canoeing in the summer time.

Spent a weekend (a cold weekend) at Emerald Lake tent camping. Sites were large and had a picnic table and fire pit in good condition. The fire pit had a nice, workable cooking grate. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Rangers we met were very friendly. Will go back in the warmer weather.

Beautiful lake with a walking path most of the way around it. There is a nice beach, with pedal boats and canoes for rent. My favorite time to visit is off-season, so I can bring my dog for swims in the lake!

We visited this beautiful lake twice this weekend. It was a lovely spot to relax. It's an easy walk from the parking lot to the lake. Several picnic tables,lots of shade, a small park store and a beautiful little beach. Perfect for young and old alike. The cost is only $4 each to get into the state park.
